Sound Decision Goes MONARC
Selects MLA3 For Concert Line Array
"The horizontal coverage was quite good compared to their competitors, and the MLA3 particularly outshined them all. I think the best quality of the MLA3 is it's horizontal coverage, but I also liked the appearance, compact design, and pricing"

Wisconsin native production company Sound Decision Productions recently purchased a MONARC MLA3 from McCauley Sound, Inc. to add to their touring class P.A. inventory.

Sound Descion was started by current owner Mark Hartzell and services the greater Milwaukee area, the state of Illinois, and into the Midwest and beyond. When the time came to upgrade, Hartzell started out looking at a variety of loudspeaker manfacturers, large and small, hoping to find something scaleable. “Other line array companies fell on their face. It took forever for them to get back to us,” says Hartzell. “The only time that they called us back was when McCauley had already sent out a demo.” Hartzell adds “The McCauley system sounded the best and their people were very helpful. The horizontal coverage was quite good compared to their competitors, and the MLA3 particularly outshined them all. I think the best quality of the MLA3 is it's horizontal coverage, but I also liked the appearance, compact design, and pricing.”

Recently, Sound Decisions put the MLA3 to the test for the first time for a potential customer. “It came through perfectly. If it hadn’t come off as well as it did, I don’t think that our summer would look as good as it does,” says Hartzell. Sound Decision’s summer lschedule is now packed with jazz festivals where they plan to use the MLA3.

In addition to the MLA3, Sound Decisions also purchased SM72 stage monitors. “We actually liked them so much that even if we didn’t go with the MLA3’s, we would have still bought the monitors- they scream!," says Hartzell.

Looking ahead, Sound Decision does not plan to restrict the use of the MLA3 to just music concerts. Their future plans are to expand into the corporate arena in the winter months, and MLA3 will be their cornerstone system in that effort.
